Terps Find a Home at Perfect Sense

We know that choosing your first job is an important and difficult decision. Since our founding in 2008, we have worked to make Perfect Sense a great place for new graduates to start their careers by empowering them to contribute on day one, providing them with dedicated mentors to help them learn, and challenging them with different problems to expand their skill set. We hope that you will join our team!

Since joining Perfect Sense, I’ve grown significantly as an engineer, but more importantly, as a professional. I’ve gained clarity about the real purpose of software—it’s a tool used to solve a business problem. As I’ve gained clarity on this, my high-level problem solving skills have vastly improved, as I’ve began thinking at a larger scale with a vision on moving the business forward.

From our CEO, David Gang

In my opinion, college recruiting is the foundation of building an excellent company. At Perfect Sense, we rely on young, smart individuals to inject new viewpoints, curious intellect, and boundless energy to keep us competitive in the ever-changing technology landscape. Through our college recruiting efforts, we have expanded both our diversity and our capabilities by welcoming and cultivating the next generation of top-tier engineering, product, and design talent.

We want you to join Perfect Sense and know that you will play a vital role in helping us fulfill our potential in the years to come.

Our Promise

By starting your career at Perfect Sense, you will be joining a rotational assignment environment where, within your first two years, you will be assigned to no less than four different client-facing project teams. With dedicated mentors, you will be exposed to a variety of disciplines that enrich your capabilities and push you to fulfill your potential.

Culture of Excellence

By coming to Perfect Sense, you will be joining a uniquely talented team of developers, designers, and product managers committed to crafting innovative solutions for our partners.

Coming to work here, I didn't have a lot of experience in the industry and was worried I would be overwhelmed. But the path my managers set for me allowed me to gain experience in a very short amount of time, and, within 4 months, I was able to take on a project all by myself as a Full Stack Developer.

Every day presents new challenges that require thoughtful problem solving. This exposure provides you with a rich portfolio to showcase your work and a proud sense of accomplishment.

Make a Difference

Perfect Sense was founded with giving back to its community core to its mission. Through ongoing, concrete actions our mission aims at getting our employees off the sidelines to join hand-in-hand in bringing joy to the lives of others, while gaining a greater understanding of our community. Our efforts focus on three populations—indidivuals with intellectual disabilities, at-risk youth, and wounded veterans.

Over the years, Perfect Sense employees have had the opportunity to volunteer at Special Olympics World Games in Pyeongchang, Los Angeles, and Austria; snowboard with Special Olympics athletes in Aspen; build bicycles that are distributed through the YMCA to at-risk youth during the holidays; and golf alongside wounded veterans. Additionally, Perfect Sense celebrates every employee's 5-year anniversary with a $1,000 contribution to a charity of his/her choice.

My favorite project has been Circa, because it was the first one where I got to see the entire product lifecycle. I was there to see all the post-its on the planning board, and I was there in the office at 5am when the site went live to the public. I built most of the modules on the homepage, so every time I open circa.com I can see all the work I contributed, which is a great feeling.
